Binary Bashers: Black Queer Histories Unleashed (Series Preview)

Binary Bashers is an original audio documentary series by Embracing All of Me, launching February 3, 2026, for Black History Month.

The series centers Black historical figures whose lives moved beyond rigid, self-limiting social binaries, revealing how race, desire, identity, creativity, and survival have always existed in layered, expansive, and unfinished ways. Binary Bashers uncovers resilience not as perfection, but as proof of life lived between definitions.

This is not a revision of history or retroactive label assignment. It’s a restoration of its complexity with updated language and understanding.
